Medicare Enrollment
Enrolling in Medicare is one of the most important steps in protecting your health. At South Health, we’re here to make sure you do it correctly, on time, and with confidence. If you are approaching your 65th birthday, it's time to prepare for your Social Security and Medicare enrollment.
Why Timing Matters
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Social Security Administration, if you don’t sign up for Medicare when you’re first eligible, you may face late enrollment penalties that increase your monthly costs.
• You may pay higher monthly premiums if you delay enrollment
• Some penalties can last for years — or even for life depending on the plan
• Missing key deadlines can also lead to gaps in coverage
Most people become eligible at age 65 and have a limited enrollment window, so timing is critical.
What Many Patients Don’t Know
